Officials know their vegetables
Print Edition
Young officials from Jiading Agriculture Committee have been planting vegetables to gain an insight into the difficulties faced by local farmers.
They planted eggplants, peppers, cucumbers and other vegetables in a 20-square-meter test field next to the Jiading District Agricultural Technology Service Center.
鈥淐ompared to regular vegetables, I usually prefer unusual varieties,鈥 Shi Zixue said. He planted ghost pepper, one of the hottest peppers in the world.
Shi said he was cheated at least five times into buying defective seeds. 鈥淗igh-quality seeds are the lifeline of farmers,鈥 Shi said. 鈥淲e must never be lenient toward the traders who sell fake seeds.鈥
鈥淭hough hard, we take it as a rest after office work,鈥 Li Ling said.
A number of the officials have become skilled planters through working in the field.
鈥淭he planting in the test field enabled me to learn vegetable growing skills, and more importantly, I am closer to my colleagues because we share the same topics,鈥 said Jin Chenjie, who won top prize in a vegetable planting competition earlier this year.
